Liaodong Metropolitan Division, Jianzhou Wei.

Commanding the Embassy's Residence.

Nurhachi looked at the more than 30,000 cavalry under his command, and his face was full of smiles.

"After more than ten years of hard work, I finally saved these family funds, the throne of the Emperor of the Central Plains, I also want to sit and see what it feels like......"

He Heli, the commander beside him, said respectfully: "With the capital of the leader Tianzong, he will definitely get his wish!" ”

The other side.

Eyi muttered softly: "Heheli's belly is full of flattery, and it's not a good thing at first glance!" ”

Nurhachi, "......"

A few people were talking.

Suddenly, a soldier came from outside, "Chief, there is a Han man outside the door holding your waist card and asking to see you, saying that he came by order." ”

The smile on Nurhachi's face suddenly retracted.

He said, "Bring people in!" ”

"Yes."

The soldiers hurried down.

A short time later, a middle-aged man dressed in a Confucian robe and looking about thirty or forty years old was brought in.

Meet Nurhachi.

The Confucian scholar only shook his face and said, "Bai Yingwen has seen the Jurchen leader. ”

"Bold!"

He Heli shouted, "You Han people are so rude, why don't you worship when you see my Jurchen leader?" ”

He Heli glanced lightly.

Bai Yingwen didn't mean anything to deal with him, and still said to Nurhae: "The master ordered me to come and ask the Jurchen leader, is the promise made that day still counted?" ”

"Count, must count."

Nurhachi replied in the affirmative.

Hearing this, Bai Yingwen's face softened slightly, and then he asked: "It's been a few months since the Lord unified the Jurchen departments in Jianzhou, why haven't you acted according to the agreement?" ”

"Mr. Bai doesn't know," Nurha's face was full of embarrassment, "I have long wanted to fulfill the contract and go south, but this year, the grassland harvest of the various departments of Jianzhou has been greatly reduced, and I can't even make up the grain and grass needed by the army, so I am really powerless!" ”

Bai Yingwen's expression sank.

He scolded secretly in his heart: "The barbarians outside the Saiwai really can't believe it, the speed of turning their faces and denying people and biting back is better than that of those scholars in Jiangnan!" ”

It's just that the plan has been advanced to this point, and if he wants to start over, not only is there not enough time, but the various expenses are also unbearable for the master behind him.

Therefore, Bai Yingwen was extremely gloomy in his heart.

I can only pinch my nose and admit it.

Holding back his anger, Bai Yingwen's expression remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "It is also reasonable for the leader to have this concern, when he came, the master had instructed that after the matter is completed, he will protect the Jurchen tribes of Jianzhou to tide over the difficulties." ”

"That's not going to work."

Without waiting for Bai Yingwen to finish speaking, Eyidu immediately objected, "It's a seven- or eight-day journey from here to Goguryeo or Dusi, and we don't even have food to go out on the expedition, what to eat and drink?" ”

There was silence in the living room.

After a long time, Bai Yingwen, who was still ready to fly, spoke first, "Although the leader sends troops, the grain and grass for the expedition will be transported over soon, and I hope that the army will start as soon as possible!" ”

"That's nature."

Nurhachi patted his chest and promised: "As soon as the grain and grass arrive, we will send troops immediately!" ”

"That's the best."

"But ......"

Nurhachi's words changed sharply, and he smiled and said: "I have a hard time in the construction of the state, I wonder if Mr. can go back to the one behind him and sponsor some weapons a little?" ”

This wave is called inch by inch!

Looking at Nurhachi, who was smiling and not smiling, Bai Yingwen was speechless.

…………

Let's talk about the other side.

In the middle of winter, it is extremely cold.

But on this day, Xue Baochai still woke up from her sleep early, but it was because Jia Cong returned to Beijing today, and she was thinking about going outside the city to meet her a few days ago.

Under the excitement, I didn't sleep peacefully this night.

Similar to her situation, there is also Lin Daiyu, who lives in Rongguo Mansion, thinking about Jia Cong's return to Beijing, and she is already shallow, but she directly loses sleep.

The fourth day of November.

Morning.

Sensing that the window outside was lit up, Xue Baochai suddenly sobered up, got up and opened the gauze tent to see, although the cotton curtain at the door was still hidden, but the window was already bright.

Seeing this scene, Xue Baochai knew that the sun outside must be rising high, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and opened the window drawer outside.

The next moment.

The biting cold wind poured in, and Xue Baochai, who called the window, couldn't help but shiver, it turned out that the light outside was the white light reflected by the snow, and the room was bright.

At this moment, there is still goose-feather snow falling in the sky, as if rubbing and pulling.

The situation is similar.

Lin Daiyu, who was asleep when the rooster crowed, also woke up suddenly and found that the window was lit up, and even called Zijuan and Snow Goose to come over to change clothes and comb her hair.

Zijuan, who was on night duty outside, heard the movement, hurriedly opened the curtain and came in, and said, "It's still early at this time, the girl will sleep for a while, and I'll call you when it's dawn!" ”

Lin Daiyu asked, "When will this be?" ”

Zijuan said with a smile: "The fifth watch has just passed, and the girl has slept for more than an hour, and if she doesn't sleep for a while, when she sees the third master of Cong, she will definitely have two dark circles under her eyes!" ”

I heard that I was going to see Jia Cong with two dark circles under my eyes.

Lin Daiyu's heart jumped, and she hurriedly waved her hand and said, "Then I'll sleep for a while, Zijuan, if you don't open the window drawer, it will save me from sleeping ......"

"That's not good," Zijuan immediately refused: "It's snowing heavily outside, and the girl's body is thin, in case it's freezing or something, it's amazing!" ”

"Well, don't forget to call me."

Let's go back to the Zhongyong Uncle's Mansion.

The warbler, who was waiting outside, heard the movement in the house and hurriedly came in.

Immediately, I saw the window drawer that was propped up, and hurriedly came over to put it down, "Why did my aunt put up the window drawer?" It's snowing outside, don't freeze! ”

Hearing this, Xue Baochai said with a smile: "The stove in the house is hot, and the wind is only cool, where will it freeze?" It's all there to scare yourself! ”

Ying'er also smiled, "Auntie, just spare me, the master comes back today, if you see that you are suffering from frostbite, you still have to pick the skin of me, a maid?" ”

As he spoke, he laughed first.

"You girl, you talk a lot!"

Xue Baochai said Ying'er with a smile, and then ordered: "Anyway, I can't sleep, just change my clothes and get up, and it will be dawn after sitting for a while!" ”

"But hasn't the master already sent someone to say it? said that he could only enter Beijing when he was in time, and he had to go to the palace to restore his life, and return the sigil to the military department or something, and it would be at least about time to return home......"

While serving Xue Baochai to change clothes, Ying'er muttered there, "It's cold outside today, what if the wind accidentally blows and gets cold?" ”

"It's just that you have a lot of words!"

Xue Baochai scolded with a smile: "Won't you put on that fox fur for me later, and then light a stove in the carriage?" ”

There was a pause.

He also instructed: "Bring more fox furs, and bring two more stoves to warm your hands, Miss Lin will definitely go with us to greet the master today." ”

Ying'er responded one by one.
